Water Margin Survival

Looking at the last line of defense at Erlong Mountain for a long time, Dang Shiying, the commander of the Beijing Army who was in command at the second critical moment, said to himself, "I don't know what happened to Liu Commander's side?"

"Yeah, our progress is too fast! If we follow the current trend, we can take down the Erlong bandit stronghold today! I'm afraid that the Liangshan bandits will retreat to the eight hundred miles of water. It's their time In the lair, even if Liu Tongzhi's subordinates are all elite soldiers and strong generals, we will lose the advantage of the location first!"

Dang Shixiong was also worried. The three leaders who came forward wanted to sell the face of the emperor's relative Murong Yanda and at the same time send a big gift to Enshuai Gaoqiu, but the current progress was too smooth. They worry about gain and loss.

"Don't worry, the two rulers. The two leaders here, Zhu Dian and Lei Heng, were originally old friends in Yuncheng County with Chao Gai, the leader of Erlongshan. Chao Gai is also a man and woman known for his loyalty. It was broken by us and just ignored it!"

Pang Yi was in a good mood at this time. After these few days of running-in, the confidantes of these two powerful ministers completely overturned his previous concerns. joy.

"I heard that Chao Gai is not the master of Liang Shanbo, and Chao Gai's name is not found on the stele bestowed by God. Does he really have such a great influence on Liangshan? Let's just focus on this guy, won't it? What's wrong?" Seeing Pang Yi's confident expression, the Dang brothers looked at each other, and then saw his younger brother Dang Shixiong ask.

"The two rulers only know one and don't know the other!" Pang Yi shook his head and smiled. The Dang brothers saw that he was confident.They all said: "I would like to hear the details!"

"As far as I know, this Erlong Mountain was first robbed by a man named Deng Long. Later, he was annexed by Wang Lun, and he gave it to Chao Gai, who robbed the birth certificate. Although Chao Gai and Wang Lun lived in Yun There used to be feuds between cities and counties, but ever since Chao Gai bowed his head to Wang Lun, Wang Lun has been very generous to him. Unashamedly, Wang Lun, who met his nephews and nephews, was closer than anyone else. He said "brother" without any embarrassment. On the contrary, the strong men in the world would tell the story of these two people as a good story! The two rulers, let go With such a relationship, are you still afraid that Chao Gai won't be able to persuade Wang Lun?"

Before they met, the two still had doubts on their faces. Pang Yi chuckled and said, "Although Chao Gai has a reputation for loyalty, he is still incomparable with Wang Lun, the leader of Liangshanpo. Wang Lun has become famous in the past two years. He has been blown to the sky in the rivers and lakes. If someone in the green forest says that his righteousness is not as good as the sky, those who hear it clap their hands and applaud, and there is no objection! If he sits and watches Zhu Dian and Lei Heng being wiped out by our army, hum, he will lose his reputation in the future How to deceive people?"

With Pang Yi's confession.The Dang brothers were finally relieved for the most part.But Dang Shixiong echoed: "Pang Dujian's words are reasonable! If Wang Lun is willing to save Lu Junyi and Chai Jin, he will not hesitate to destroy the two cities for this, and he will definitely not abandon Lei Heng and Zhu Dian. Just as As the old general said, these bandits who rely on their fame to confuse the world have been exposed by us, how can they justify themselves in the future?"

Pang Yi laughed, looked around at the two people in front of him and said: "The most unsightly things in my life are people like Wang Lun, who are obviously robbers fighting against the court, robbing houses, attacking states and destroying houses. How dare you say 'do justice for the sky'! This' heaven 'Is it something that a bandit like him can 'replace', then what is the use of His Majesty and us?"

"The old general has extraordinary knowledge, and my brothers all admire him!" Seeing that he was talking with great interest, Dang Shiying didn't know how to say it.

Pang Yi was very pleased with the low profile of the Dang brothers. He waved his hands and said, "I admire the two generals. They have reached the high position of commander at a young age. When we meet again in the future, I will I'm afraid I have to pay homage to the next official!"

"Where did the old general come from? Thinking about Pang Du's famous family, both civil and military, not to mention the esteem of Tong Shumi, this time he solved the serious troubles of Murong Zhizhou. If he will pay for his merits in the future, he can still escape the old general? It's the young general." When you two meet En Shuai, you will truthfully report the old general's achievements today!" Dang Shiying laughed.

Pang Yi stroked his beard and sighed: "This old man is about to enter the coffin, fame and fortune have long since faded away! But if I can work for the government for a few more years, I will fulfill my life's wish!"

In order to gain power in front of Gao Lian, apart from having real skills, one must also be considerate.How can the Dang Brothers not understand what Pang Yi is saying if they are able to get to where they are now?Immediately make a promise, and will definitely speak well for Gao Lian in front of him.

Pang Yijian said that he was in a good mood, so he opened up his mind with his two juniors at Chengguan, and commented on the recent military and political affairs of the court:

"I think that Xu Jing was just a plaster seller in the market back then, and he was lucky enough to get into the high position of the Taiyuan Jiedu envoy of the Shangdang. The old man saw that his [-] elite soldiers could not advance or retreat. It is his own responsibility to send it to Tian Hu's rebels. ! And the four prison guards who conquered Hedong are all gangsters, I heard rumors in the army, have three of them already surrendered to Tian Hu?"

Dang Shiying interjected: "It's true! Except Li Ming, the military governor of Xuzhou, there are Duan Pengju, the military governor of Suizhou, Chen Zhu, the military governor of Zhengzhou, and Han Tianlin, the military governor of Tangzhou. They were captured by mistake one after another. Later, the flags of these three people appeared among the bandit soldiers. I don’t know if it’s true or not! Under the leadership of Wu Bingyi, Wang Yi, Ma Wanli and Zhou Xin respectively, they went to the tents of Feng Mei and Bi Sheng to listen to orders!"

"It's probably true! I know that these three people don't have much ability, and they only control the soldiers and horses of a state by flattering their horses and beards. Now that the two armies have seen the real chapter in front of the battle, they are afraid! But according to the old man, Tian The tiger is only a disease of scabies, or Gao Taiwei saw thousands of miles away and understood that Liangshanbo was the elbow and armpit problem of the imperial court, so he mobilized an army of 13 and used strong medicine to cure the serious illness! It is like the imperial court enlisting and suppressing Tianhu. Slowly Swallowing to add fuel to the heat, it's really a shocking wind hitting the slow doctor! Alas..."

Pang Yi let out a long sigh and told the Dang brothers to look at each other. The old general in front of him was old anyway, so how could he be so frivolous and casually criticize the court's military affairs?It seems that there is still a reason why he doesn't please Tong Guan.The two of them had never had any dealings with him before, and they knew the taboo of exchanging shallow words, so they just laughed and brought the topic aside.

"However, how many people can understand the general plan of the Taiwei? I am afraid that most of the officials in the court will criticize them. They think that the current court is at a critical moment to conquer Tian Hu. It is strange that the Taiwei does not know the general idea, right? But how do they know that, Today's world is full of bandits and bandits, and the people's hearts are unstable..."

Although Pang Yi spoke slickly, he didn't scold anyone he caught. He gave Gao Qiu a lot of face in front of the Dang brothers, but the Dang brothers didn't dare to go deeper on this topic. They were surrounded by Liu Menglong's men and horses, No one knows which god they are relying on behind their backs. If this conversation is spread in the future, it will cause countless troubles out of thin air.At this moment, Dang Shixiong interrupted him and said:

"I don't know, the old general. The Holy Majesty and Cai Xiang are still very supportive of the Taiwei. Even Tong Shumi didn't say anything on this matter! With the support of these two important ministers and officials, my Taiwei said that although he was under pressure, he did not say anything. It is because I am afraid that I will disappoint the ardent hopes of the officials, and it has nothing to do with other Taoism!"

Pang Yi snorted when he heard the words, with the madness of seeing through the world, as if he was the only sober person in the court.He only heard him say: "If he didn't move his Western Army, what would a certain Prime Minister say?"

Although in the eyes of others he is from Tong Guan's lineage, only he understands the bitterness in it, but it seems that Pang Yi has suffered from Tong Guan's dumbness, and he pointed the finger at another person and said: "And Cai Xiang, the father-in-law wants to use the Taiwei's hand to avenge his son-in-law, how could he object?"

The Dang Brothers feel that they are going to be unable to continue, and if this "old man chatters about the teenagers" prison guard will continue to complain, I am afraid that they will really be unable to hold back.In fact, this is the case in the officialdom, the older you are, the more daring you are to speak out. People like them in their prime seem to be old-fashioned, adhering to the principle that silence is golden.

Fortunately, the messenger had important news to report at this time, and the two of them immediately called someone to report to the city as if they were amnesty, and Pang Yi had no choice but to shut up.I only heard a report from someone: "The villain is a small school under Liu Tongzhi's command. The Liangshan fleet has appeared an hour ago. The two governors and Pang Dujian can give it a go!"

"Okay!" Pang Yi clapped his hands and said to the Dang brothers: "You two generals, it's up to you!"

It didn't take long, only to hear the rumbling drums beating, and the beautiful bearded man Zhu Ting, who was guarding the last pass of Erlong Mountain, woke up from his doze, subconsciously grabbed the blood-stained simple knife placed beside him, got up and lay on his stomach. There was an empty space in the female wall, and the scene that caught his eyes made him feel that the doze just now might be the last doze in his life.

I saw that the closing gate of the second pass had been pushed open at this time, and the officers and soldiers in formation rushed up pushing the donkey cart, and bags of dirt piled up to shorten the distance between the two sides in the bloody battle.At this time, Pang Yi started to cast cold arrows on the pass again, and the roaring arrows and short crossbows made everyone unable to lift their heads.

When the last moment came, Master Zhu took a deep breath and shouted to the hundreds of brothers who voluntarily stayed on the wall to defend the city:

"Let's hold on for a while longer, brothers will have a chance to escape! You are also from Liangshan, and you all know the regulations of Liangshanpo's pension for soldiers. It is not a loss for us to die here!"

Those who wanted to leave had already left, and the remaining three hundred people were all bachelors who were determined to stay voluntarily. Although Zhu Tie couldn't call them all by name, they were just such people who would accompany him until the end of the journey. The last stage of life.

At this time, someone who took the lead shouted, and then the mountains and plains echoed the swan song of these strong men:

"Swear to live and die together with Brother Dutou!" (to be continued~^~)
